One Body, Two Lenses: Which Bag?

[wgerrard]

Any thoughts on a small shoulder bag for one RF body w/lens and and one other lens? A little padding is a good thing for my tastes.

I know I'm supposed to wear an HCB-style jacket with big pockets, but the only time I wear a jacket is from November to March, and then I seldom button or zip 'em up, leaving expensive toys in vulnerable flapping pockets. 😉

I use either my Domke F5-xb or Billingham Hadley Small to carry around a M6 + 35 cron + 50 cron

I carry 1 body and 3 lenses around in my Domke F-5XC and have a enough room for an extra body (or a bottle of water) should the need arise.

Very nice little day bag IMHO, but I am looking for something a bit bigger for travelling.

One body, two lenses and film = Leica small hard bag. Rock soild and small. Sold in the 1980, mine cost about $100 and I love it.

A kit that small would fit in a canvas gasmask bag lined with camp foam. Cheap, cheerful and doesn't look like a camera bag.

Not a Domke or Billingham and cheaper. But I love my little Lowepro Rezo with 35/75 combo (believe it's the 110 ?).

I use the Domke F5-xb for my M6 + cron 35 + cron 90 + Voigt 15 + films.
It's not too big and look like a common bag.

I use a crumpler 4-million-dollar home. Well padded and waterproof. I think the new ones don't have film canister loops though.

Leica bag
I can fit 2 bodies + 3 lenses in it

Domke F-803 for me. You can fit some film, your wallet, a paperback, and a very small umbrella in there too.

Big vote for the Bare-Bones-Bag , perfect for 2 lenses and a body, light on padding, but I haven't had any issues with that,

Oskar's One Day Bag is the only bag I think I'll ever need. Love it.

I can fit a ZI, two lenses (three if you wanted to), wallet, phone, some filters, film, and some misc. paper and pens.

I just saw what looks like a neat bag. Check out the Active Shooter from Maxpedition. The link is for a cool video about it. I don't like waist straps usually but see where it may be effective in some situations. I would put a Domke insert possibly in it.

Gas mask bag with no foam here.

Tamrac Expo Jr. Made in USA and weighs just 7 oz. I put a folded microfiber cloth between then extra lens and camera in the main compartment.

Billingham Contax bag

An advertiser on the UK branch of the big auction site is offering Billingham Contax bags. I have one - perfect for an M body with Summicron plus an extra lens, a meter and some film.

Best,

Paddy, If I read the numbers right, that bag is a bit larger than the Evans Walker, which I have. It's a great bag, but I'm thinking about something pretty small: Big enough for one body with one 50mm lens attached plus another lens of similar size, and no larger.

That small--Mountainsmith Reflex II Medium. I have it and it was my M3 kit bag. It can hold that body and lens on one side of the divider, and your other lens in the other side. Plenty of pockets and pouches for other stuff. If you decide to buy one of these, LMK. I'll give you a great deal for mine--no smoke and gently used.
